It's not everyday that you get to meet your idols. But on this particular day, one lucky and determined fan got to meet his.

That would be Nick Miller who happened to run into Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on April 5 as he was leaving the gym. It almost didn't happen either but Miller was persistent enough that it paid off. In the end, the chance encounter ended up meaning a lot to both of them, so much so that Johnson posted a picture of them together on Instagram along with a touching message.

The former WWE Champion and current star of "Furious 7" admits that he almost drove off after seeing some kids running after him but decided to stop. He wrote, "I hop out of my truck and this kid runs up to me, hugs the hell outta me and says it's been his life's dream to meet me and tell me how much I've inspired him to fight cancer (Hodgkin's lymphoma) and hard core chemo and stem cell transplant treatments."

After he took pictures and exchanged some hugs, Johnson admitted that he was brought to tears by the boy's story. "As I'm drivin' I start shaking my head (and tearing up) at how fragile life is and how amazing and cool the universe was to make this meeting happen between myself and this special kid Nick Miller. Let's always take a moment to count our blessings.. cause there's always something to be grateful for."
